WTF : Woman Grows Nails for 22 Years Trying to Become Famous (3 Pics)

Jazz Ison SInkfield, 48, from Atlanta, Georgia, hasn’t cut her finger nails in the last 22 years, in the hope that they might one day bring her the fame and glory she’s always been dreaming of.

Although she has difficulties performing the easiest of household chores, Jazz claims she feels “very, very blessed”. The nail-obsessed grandmother thinks she has a talent for growing and taking care of her long nails, because it’s not something anyone can do. She spends eight hours and $250 a week in her local nail salon having them preened and polished.

Sinkfield has been growing her fingernails for 22 years -- the longest one is 24 inches and she has 19 feet of fingernails total. She tells the camera, "I just can't stop loving my kids so how could I stop loving my nails....They are a girl's best friend. They are precious to the heart."

According to her husband, Antonio, Jazz Sinkfield pays more attention to her precious fingernails than she does to him. Plus, she needs help with almost everything, because her nails make her very slow.

Washing her hands can take up to 10 minutes, texting and typing are a lot more difficult when you can’t use your fingers, and she can’t even tie her own shoes.

She can’t even take off her jewelry, because she’s afraid she might damage her diamond fingernails, and all because she wants to be famous and meet celebrities the likes of Oprah Winfrey. Do you think that’s worth it?
